Reduced radar cross-section RF seeker front-end

摘要

A Reduced Radar Cross-Section RF Seeker Front-End interrogates a potential target by issuing interrogation radiation toward the target and receiving and analyzing a portion of the radiation that reflects back from various surfaces of the targeted object while, at the same time, the Front-End reduces the likelihood of its own discovery by the enemy. The Front-End accomplishes the reduction by absorbing radiation directed toward it by an enemy radar or anti-tactical missile rather than allowing the radiation to be reflected back. Such absorption greatly diminishes the availability of signature reflection that belligerents rely on to identify hostile forces on the battlefield.
